Kinetics: Rate of Chemical Reactions

The diagram below depicts the progress of a reaction. Each shape and color represents
a different substance. The three boxes represent the concentrations of each substance
as the indicated time elapses. Refer to the diagram to answer questions 1 4.

1. Select all images that represent reactants. There may be more than one reactant.
a.
b.
c.


2. Which statement is true?
a. The rate of change of substance is twice the magnitude as the rate of
change of substance .
b. The rate of change of substance is equal to the rate of change of substance
.
c. The rate of change of substance is twice the magnitude as the rate of change
of substance .
d. The rate of change of substance is equal in magnitude but opposite in sign to
the rate of change of substance .


3. If each colored image represents 0.10 M of the substance, determine the rate (in
M/s) of change of substance over the first 15 seconds.


Time = 0 seconds Time = 15 seconds Time = 30 seconds
